Undergrad Research

NOTICE: The Quizbowl has been cancelled.

Welcome to the North Carolina RISE/LSAMP Joint Research Symposium website. This statewide STEM undergraduate research symposium has been long overdue and being the first in so many years, we trust that it would be one of a kind. The RISE and LSAMP scholars have worked with their mentors relentlessly throughout the academic year on their research and we believe that this will be a great forum for them to showcase their research results.  The symposium will feature oral and poster research presentations and “Meet and Greet “sessions with graduate school representatives from universities across several States in the country. The presentations are expected to cover a wide range of research topics in STEM fields, including STEM Education Research.

The symposium is expected to commence at 7:45am with registration and continental breakfast. The award ceremony and banquet is slated for 7:00pm. All presentations will be judged and the first, second and third high ranking presentations (separately for orals and posters) will receive prizes.
